16) Robbed
Written: Write about why your team was robbed from making the Playoffs, how did the sim screw you and why were you more deserving:
Alright, so let me get into this especially considering that I am the co-gm of the Palm Beach Solar Bears. There are a number of reasons as to why the Solar Bears didn’t make the playoffs. Some of those reasons were our own doing from the management end of things, some of the reasons were completely out of our control. For instance, being placed in a division with San Antonio and Tijuana was a damn travesty. I know and understand that’s how the divisions were already set up, but holy shit did Norfolk end up in the easier division despite Portland’s success in the playoffs. Tough to get into the playoffs when you’re up against two powerhouses within the division. The second thing that screwed us in terms of making the playoffs was that our game plan was not set properly within the sim for the first week leading to us passing the ball more than we had planned for which led to interceptions which led to us losing games that we were otherwise competitive in. Really, those are the things that I can think of that were out of our control, outside of that we should have done a better job on our end and putting ourselves in a better spot to be competitive right away.
15) Unsung Hero
Written: Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us.
It’s not too often that kickers get a lot of love in this sport. You really only talk about them when the play like miserable pieces of shit, but that ends today because my unsung hero of the ultimini playoffs is Dasistwirklichseinnachname from the Portland Pythons. In terms of punting, he didn’t really do anything special. He was outclassed in terms of average yards per punt, but that’s obviously not why I decided to go with him. I decided that he was the unsung hero of the playoffs due to his performance in the conference championships. Dasistwirklichseinnachname was directly responsible for ten of the Pythons sixteen points in that game and he kicked what would turn out to be the game winning field goal that would ultimately send the Pythons to championship game where they would prevail as the champions. He was no slouch in the championship round either as he went two for two in field goals and knocked through all four of his extra points. He was a pivotal member of the squad for the Pythons and I don’t think they make it by the Seawolves without his performance. Could I have picked a running back, wide receiver, or even defender to fill this position? Yeah, but kicker is where it was at this season.
14) Going to Disneyland!
Written: Who was the Ultimus or Ultimini MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland, or describe how they celebrated.
Despite the fact that he threw three interceptions in the championship game, it’s tough to not say that Franklin Armstrong didn’t put the team on his back and carry the Portland Pythons to the ultimini championship. Even with the three aforementioned interceptions, throwing for almost two hundred and fifty yards and three touchdowns is definitely enough to win you MVP. So what is Armstrong going to do now? What MVPs always do in this situation and get their ass on down to Disneyworld. There are so many things to do at Disneyworld it was tough for Armstrong to decide what to do. Obviously he had to get some famous food on main street in the magic kingdom including corndogs and some ice cream. Then he decided to ride space mountain at least 20 times in a row. Each time the ride came to a start the ride operator would start ushering him off the ride where he would announce “excuse me, but do you know who the fuck I am” and the pull the safety bar right back on down. Mickey mouse came out and said, “that’s fucking Franklin Armstrong and he does whatever the fuck he wants”. Seems like it was a pretty good trip for the rookie QB.
13) That Magic Moment
Writen: Pick one moment from a playoff game and describe what made it so amazing to watch.
There are only a few moments that truly define a playoff game and in the conference championship between the San Antonio Marshals and the Tijuana Luchadores, there was one moment that put the nail in the coffin and solidified the end to an upset of the ages. There was still a lot of time left to play at this point in the game, but you know that there was just no coming back from a moment like this. So the score was twenty to fourteen with the Luchadores surprisingly in the lead, but you could tell that the Marshals were hungry and pushing as the second half of the game charged on. The Marshals had just scored a touchdown and the Luchadores were pinned deep in their own territory after the ensuing kickoff. But what happened at that moment changed the entire momentum of the game. Havran handed the ball off to Forrest Gump and Gump ran… boy did he run. He broke tackles, he juked to the left, juked to the right… there may have even been a little baby stiff arm in there somewhere, but ultimately that man carried the ball ninety six yards into the endzone to give the Luchadores a two score lead that they would keep and upset the heavy favorites in the San Antonio Marshals. If that isn’t magic, I don’t know what is.
